For the first sales you should probably only sell to reputable members.
You send first and wait for payment after they get the goods, or use escrow.
When in doubt if someone might be respectable enough for you to send first(in case you don't use escrow), don't be afraid to ask.
I don't see a problem on you listing all you have for sale when you start, as long as you do what I advised.
Be aware that if you refuse to do any of the above people will give you a hard time.
Even if you do as I advise people will probably give you a hard time anyway, it's up to you to act professional, or not.
PS: This is my personal opinion/advice, don't mind the Moderator title written below my nickname.

Just to update you guys that I made the deal with DeanC and will wait for the card to arrive and leave a review after I have it on my hands. I'll make sure to include pictures of the packaging so you guys can be assured that it's safe, or not.
Even if I'm not satisfied, after I get the card I'll still pay DeanC his 1.9 BTC.
DeanC said he will ship it tomorrow, so probably before the end of the week I'll update you guys on the situation.
Poland---->Portugal shouldn't take longer than 1 week.

No idea why you would have extra coins on your wallet. Maybe those transactions that never hit the blockchain disappeared from your client and you got your coins back?
It's hard to pin point the problem without knowing exactly all that happened.
I've been using Bitcoin for over a year now, still using my original wallet.dat, which have thousands of addresses in it and also made thousands of transactions and never faced a similar problem.

That wasn't my question:
The wallet.dat file, that's the only file that matters.
After using it, do you copy it back to the encrypted drive or do you just delete it?
What I mean is, the wallet.dat that is on your encrypted folder is a new one that you copy there after every use or is still the original one that you put there the first time?
Ok, you answered above.
If that's what happened then the 100 addresses buffer would be sufficient to keep your coins there.
Have you tried running Bitcoin with the rescan option to see if you get your coins back?

You say you keep your wallet on an encrypted drive/folder and delete it after every use.
Now for the dumb question: Did you backup the wallet back to the encrypted folder after every use, before deleting it?

If you can do a bank transfer from the internet, any exchange that people told you about will do. Ofcourse it will take some days and probably be more expensive. The only one I have experience with is https://bitstamp.net but it's an European exchange Being in the US, don't know which one would be best for you. |

Yes, the 3rd input can be the same email as the 1st input. Only reason it would be different when you use Coinapult is if you're sending the bitcoins to someone else  As for the other locations, I don't know. I imagine that's such a specific case that probably most people here never used it, and the ones that did most likely won't see you asking about it in the newbies forum lol Try to contact their Live Help, I bet you'll get your questions answered very fast there. After all, who will know those things better than them? Ofcourse you can be unlucky and there's nobody there to answer you, it's Sunday, people sometimes don't like to work on Sundays  EDIT: I tried it myself, the Other Locations option. In no time I was at ZipZap website where it asked me for my Country, Location/Postal Code and showed me where to pay for it on a nearby place. Ofcourse I didn't completed it. Just do it man. It will be faster |

Those instructions are pretty clear to me. Especially Step 2: Step 2
You will be given a "deposit slip" with info on it. Print this out, and take it to the location.
Take your deposit slip and go to the cash deposit location you selected. Follow the deposit instructions on the slip; they will tell you what to do (and who to speak with) at the deposit location (Walmart, bank branch, 7-Eleven, etc) Have you tryed to follow the steps? It says they'll give you more instructions as per the part that I bolded above. Max that can happen is that you won't deposit if there is a mistake or you can't go to your chosen location and it will become invalid Also, there is a Live Help assistant at their website. https://www.bitinstant.com/contactYou can't get better than that. |

I think you can buy Bitinstant credit at WallMart or some similar shops.
Just look at the drop down on the bitintsnt website.
Walmart is listed under the "Cash Deposit" option, but I'm not sure what this entails. How do I deposit cash at a Walmart? Has anyone here had any first-hand experience with using bitInstant? Thanks! Everything you need to know is at Bitinstant's website https://www.bitinstant.com/howitworks/cashI also didn't knew and it took me 30 seconds to find out. |

Nothing can protect those dumb users ...
The only thing I can remember from my IT classes on highschool is this: "There's no anti-virus against human stupidity!" It served me well... so far... Too bad I didn't learn anything else on those classes, but that statement remained lol |

What I mean is that it is a finite amount, unlike the currencies we have now that are completely arbitrary. The entire system of currency governments rely on would have to be uprooted for bitcoins to work and I just cant imagine that happening.
Just because something is different it doesn't mean it won't work. I bet horse riders also said cars would never work... But then there were some few visionaries who started using them and look at roads today! |

I'm getting confused...
But are you buying from BFL or from someone on the forum?
If from BFL, they don't charge you more if you pay with Paypal or Dwolla or less if you pay with BTC, so I don't understand what are those % you're talking about. Also, do they ship faster when you pay with BTC?
|
|
|
|
yeah, i know. What can i tell. I got somme mony, and wont to transfer it into BFL single. I was using PP on bitmarket, but later it was forbidden. So if refferences on bitmarket is ok, i got one  You better get a better excuse than that... Butterflylabs accepts the following for payment PayPal Dwolla Bankwire Transfer BTC No need to buy Bitcoin. Just pay them with Paypal and avoid the suspicions. |

#2 - After the supposed break in (yes I'm convinced that they weren't really broken into), they did not bother notifying authorities.
There was actually a break in. There is little point in notifying anybody.#3 - They originally claimed that the hot wallet had very few funds in it as a percentage portion of assets and yet there have been "company" reps saying the supposed silent investor has had to chip in because this rendered them insolvent? Too many conflicting claims about their status.
As the original post said there was 18k BTC in the hot wallet. #4 - A few days after the break in, the supposed hacker appeared in IRC and was tossing the stolen bitcoins left and right.
So what? He was using compromised servers as proxies. So, tell me guys, which one of you would be stupid to the point of getting $100k stolen and not report it to any authorities? Let's even forget the part that it was Bitcoin and all the legal mumbo-jumbo: Compromising computer systems over which you have no ownership is a crime in almost all of the civilized world. Why not file a report just for unauthorized access to a computer system? Also, how does Patrick know he was using "compromised servers as proxies"? Did he investigate, talked with the owners of those compromised servers? What? This story stinks... just sayin' One question is bugging me for the last days: Where was that VPS hosted? The VPS which gengix said lot's of people on IRC had access to and was the entry point for Patrick's email, you know... |
